Description
Updates an existing license by modifying one or more of the following attributes:
- Features associated with a license
- The expiry date of the license
- Duration of the license
- Major and Minor version of the product
- Product Properties
- Quantity
- UserData
- Affiliate ID
- Revocation state
To call this function, you must set the enableUpgradeLicense server property to true.
Unlike the UpgradeLicense method which generates a new Activation Key, UpdateLicense simply updates an existing license without generating a new Activation Key.
To invoke this method via a URL, append this function's name to the URL of the QLM License Server and add the required arguments.

Remarks
The syntax for setting a product property is:
&is_pp=<category>.<name>::value::expiryDate||<category>.<name>::value::expiryDate||...
Example
The expiry date is optional and available for QLM Enterprise customers. The expected expiry date format is: "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss".
In addition, for product properties of type integer, you can increment or decrement an existing value by prefixing the value with the + or - sign.
For example, in the URL below, the quality.module_validation will be decremented by 2.
Note that due to URL encoding rules, the + sign should be replaced by %2B. For example, in the URL below, the quality.module_validation will be incremented by 2.
